Step into the stories of the past with this fascinating tour through the Cathedral churchyard – part of Heritage Open Days, England’s largest festival of history and culture. Was Queen Victoria truly unamused by her visits to Newcastle? Why does a ‘Vampire Rabbit’ overlook the Cathedral? And are the legends true that a pirate is buried in the Cathedral grounds?
Delve into these mysteries on this fun-filled mini-tour, which lasts approximately 25-30 minutes.
